Full Court
The Baltimore Orioles claim that the Baltimore Ravens received a better contract when they came to Maryland in 1995, even though there was a parity clause through the Maryland Stadium Authority. Although the Authority believes it offered a reasonable contract for both teams, the Orioles say there are unfair differences, such as the rent both teams pay.

Money Players
This story deals with NFL players paying a hefty price for allowing people to manage their money. U.S. News examined more than 20 investment deals involving current and former NFL players and found many victims. In exclusive interviews with the magazine, the players described how they were allegedly defrauded. An example includes Buffalo Bills cornerback Antoine Winfield, who was bilked of $1.35 million by a close friend and financial adviser. Other examples illuminate the sometimes tawdry world of player recruitment.
